My CAD artist is using Sketchup for our wall/floor panels.  I think she will really enjoy finding out there's a Stormtrooper model she can include in our displays!

The ship looks fantastic!  From putting in some time with our artist, I know how much work/fun this sort of project can be.

Yeah, while going through the Sketchup tutorials, I had to import some 3D models, and being the SW geek I am, I naturally looked for a SW model to import as well. There are troopers, but also TIE Fighters and other vehicles to be found :D

I'm disappointed in the lack of quality rigged Stormtrooper models in the sketchup (excuse me, Trimble) warehouse... but on the other hand, if you're a fan of articulated 3D models, check out Shimmy 3D's Make Your Own Halo Reach Spartan kit. It is mind-bogglingly great stuff!
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

This is going to be a great looking vehicle once it done.
